A team of people recently analyzed the timing of Facebook relationship status updates and determined when couples are most likely to call it quits. What they concluded: your chances of getting dumped are highest right before Spring Break, on April Fools' Day, late June and July, and two weeks before Christmas.

We can take a wild guess as to why people are breaking up before heading to Cancun. And we're not surprised that there's a spike pre-holidays (no significant other equals no present to buy equals less money spent). And considering that men are most likely to cheat in the summer, the June/July splits make sense. But April Fools' Day?! Come on, people. That is just cruel...and confusing.

Another interesting piece of info: the day of the week when the most people go from "In a Relationship" to "Single" is Monday.

But here's the thing: this chart is based on when people changed their status on Facebook, not when the actual break up occurred. So it's possible that the spikes could be a day or two after peak dumping days. Or in the case of real a-holes who change the status then break up, the spikes could be a day or two before those peak dumping days.

Which means the spike on April Fools' could just be Facebookers playing a prank. Though, if a guy ever did that to us, he very well might get dumped—and not just on the 'book.

Are you surprised at any of the data? Do you change your relationship status online immediately after it changes in real life? Or do you omit that information altogether from your profile?
